Shoe Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a metal shoe buckle by an unknown artist titled "Shoe Buckle". The buckle is square-shaped with rounded corners and a brushed metal finish. It has a thick, rounded frame with a brushed metal finish. Inside the frame, there is a metal piece with a design consisting of a long, thin rectangle with two long, thin vertical lines extending upwards from it. A thinner, curved piece of metal is attached horizontally between the two vertical lines. Below this design, there is a flat, rectangular piece of metal with three triangular prongs pointing downwards. The buckle appears to be made of silver or another shiny metal. The background of the image is white.
